Smog & Emissions
Out of State Registration Smog in Murrieta
Moving to California? We handle the initial registration inspection.
Vehicles brought in from another state need a California smog inspection before the DMV will register them, regardless of when they were last tested elsewhere.
We check that the vehicle's emissions equipment is California-legal, run the inspection and file the results electronically so your registration paperwork can move forward.
